Everybody loves
SAN FRANCISCO!

Its hills, cable cars, bright sunshine and fog, bridges, cosmo-
politan atmosphere, invigorating all-year climate, people,
life — there is so much to like about San Francisco. Every-
where are breath-taking views. Beautiful homes cling to
the hillsides. Stately buildings reveal its civic pride, edu-
cational and cultural achievements.

Here where a gay and fascinating city contributes so
much to the pleasure of living, and visiting, it is natural
that San Franciscans enjoy the fine flavor of —

Ted . Steele, gentleman farmer — the role that's dearest to his heart.

Ted's only complaint: a day is
limited to twenty-four hours!

<mm>m

^Jed Steele

Band leader, platter spinner, and more — Ted has a deep,
rich baritone which he accompanies on the Hammond organ.

A VERSATILE young man is WMCA's Ted Steele, the
disc jockey extraordinary, whose only complaint
with life is the archaic custom which limits a day to
twenty-four hours. As it is, the "Golden Boy" of the air
now manages to be one of the busiest men in radio and a
highly successful gentleman farmer on the side by
double-timing from dawn to dusk.

As a platter spinner on the New York Independent
station, the one-time NBC page boy goes on the air
twice daily from 11 to 11:45 A.M., and from 2 to 5 P.M.
on days no baseball is scheduled. On baseball days he
precedes the baseball, starting 2 P.M. He plays the latest
records, coaxes sweet music from the Hammond organ
and sings in a deep, rich baritone when he's not inter-
viewing big names from the show business whirl.

From WMCA Ted hustles each night to the famous
Casino-on-the-Park in the Essex House to lead his re-
organized band which is attracting recognition as one of
the most promising of the new musical aggregations.

But it's down on his farm* at Doylestown, Pa., in the
heart of celebrity-conscious Bucks County, where
Farmer Ted Steele really has a chance to work at a
hobby that has turned out to be almost as profitable as
his entertainment endeavors.

The thirty-year-old showman grew up on a dairy
farm in Belmont, Mass. He was milking cows and rais-
ing rabbits before he was six. At the age of thirteen
he won a scholarship to the New England Conservatory
of Music and farming was temporarily shelved while he

pursued his musical career.

Success came fast to the handsome New Englander
and just before World War II he purchased a modest
farm at Pearl River, N. Y. . . . He raised thousands of
white mice, guinea pigs and rabbits for wartime medical
research and was awarded a special citation by the War
Department.

The next step was a modern, 150-acre farm at Doyles-
town. Here Steele raises pure-bred Guernsey cattle
which have brought him many blue ribbons at county
and state fairs. In addition, he has become the largest
poultry breeder in the area.

Steele is now recognized as an authority, particularly
on modern farming methods. Last year he was hired
by Westinghouse as a special farm consultant. He
personally answers hundreds of letters a week from
farmers throughout the country.

Obviously, Ted couldn't maintain his pace of pro-
ductive activity without help. And the head of the
assistance department is pretty Doris Steele, his wife.
Mrs. Steele, a former agent, manages her husband's
business affairs, runs the farm while he's away and still
finds time to raise two handsome little Steeles — Susan,
six, and Sally, age five.

There's never time for a dull moment in the busy
lives of this unique young family. Now if someone
would only pass a bill in Congress making each day
forty-eight hours long, the Steeles could accomplish
twice as much.

Look, Buttercup,

your trouble
is right under your nose !

There's a new man in her life. It's her
first real date with him and she's been
getting ready for it all day long. He is
the one-and-only and tonight is, in-
deed, the night for romance.

Unfortunately it isn't going to work
out that way.

Before nine o'clock he'll be wonder-
ing what he ever saw in her . . . Cupid
will put the arrow back in his quiver . . .
and she'll cry herself to sleep wonder-
ing whatever happened to turn his
ardor into indifference.

Nonsense! Don't waste your sympathy
on her! She doesn't deserve it. No
woman does who blindly takes her
breath for granted . . . even for one
night. After all, nothing puts you in
such a bad light as halitosis (unpleasant
breath).

Isn't it just common sense and good
grooming ro always rinse the mouth
with Listerine Antiseptic before any
date where you wish to be at your best?
You go forth with a wonderful sense of

assurance that your brearh is fresher,
sweeter, less likely to offend.

While some cases of halitosis are of
systemic origin, most cases, say some
authorities, are due to the bacterial
fermentation of tiny food particles
clinging to mouth surfaces. Listerine
Antiseptic halts such fermentation, then
overcomes the odors fermentation
causes. Use it night and morning,

EVER since Commissioner Nolan of the
New York City Police Department
visited us here in Dickston I've been
doing a lot of thinking about some of the
things he told me. I've talked it over with
Stan, too, and he agrees with me that the
Commissioner had some extremely stimu-
lating things to say about the duty of
women toward their own youngsters and
other people's'.

In what better way could any woman
spend her free time than in constructive, interesting
work that is of real benefit to the community in which
she lives? And any community, regardless of size,
Commissioner Nolan told me, can have a really active
recreational program for youngsters which would be
interesting and of real benefit to the town. The way
to get it started? Cooperation between the women of
the community and the police department, patterned
after New York City's Police Athletic League.
( "Through ; the PAL," the Commissioner told me,
"New York's policemen instill in youngsters good
character, a sense of responsibility, and, so very im-
portant, a friendly attitude between the boys and
girls and the police officers. The program provides an
opportunity for youngsters to pursue any activity in
which they're interested."

What can work in New York can work anywhere

else, too. In fact there are already many
police-sponsored youth programs, all over
the country, giving youngsters a chance for
some real fun that they'd never have if
such programs hadn't been brought into
being. Of course, there are already many
agencies and organizations that seem to
have aims and objectives very much like
the PAL. Commissioner Nolan explained
that the policeman's, as well as the whole
town's concern should be the youngster
who isn't served by any other organization — the one
who needs help most of all. They won't be hard to
find, those children — it's up to us to find them and
offer them the opportunities they need. Through our
own efforts, and with the cooperation of neighbors
and friends, combined with the always-ready service
of the police of our towns, we can make our own
community a better place for growing up.

I'd like to pass along to you what Commissioner
Nolan said, just before he left us. In answer to my
thought that the main duty of a Police Department
was to patrol the streets, to keep law and order, he
said, "The prevention of crime, Mrs. Burton, is only
one of the responsibilities of the police. There's a
bigger responsibility involved — that of shaping the
future of our young citizens. We must extend to every
growing boy and girl a helping hand."

Lucille Norman is beard on
NBC, Sat. 10:30 P.M., PDT.

BEING a fair-skinned, blonde, and blue-eyed girl,
Lucille Norman has always had to be careful when
in the sun. In fact, like all sensitive-skinned gals,
she never could stay in it for any length of time without
suffering a painful burn.

However, when she married actor Bruce Kellogg
(Lucille stars in NBC's Saturday night program, The
Music Hour from Hollywood), they took a cute little
house right on the beach at Malibu, California. Bruce
has light brown hair, dark eyes, and a skin which tans
to a beautiful bronze. He likes to spend hours in the
sun. So Lucille decided that, to be a match for her
surfboard-riding husband, she should learn how to
take it, too.

She tried the suntan lotions and creams which Bruce
and their friends recommended. Everyone, she dis-
covered, has a favorite kind. Finally, she hit on one
that seemed to be just right for her.

Before going to the beach, she applies it to all the
exposed parts of her body. Because her figure is shapely
and slender enough to wear a brief bathing suit be-

RADIO MIRROR for BETTER LIVING

comingly, this means a great deal of Lucille! Into her
beach bag, along with a miniature comb and brush,
compact, and other beach necessities, goes her anti-
burn, tan-inducing remedy." She re-applies it fre-
quently, to keep her skin well lubricated.

Although the picture of her sitting on the beach
doesn't show her wearing sunglasses, she does. She has
several pairs with different-colored frames to harmonize
with the colors of various outfits, and wears them to
screen her eyes from the sun's strong glare, and to keep
her from getting squint-lines and crows' feet around
the corners of her eyes.

At first she sunned herself three minutes a day, on
each side. Gradually, she increased the time each day.
Now, over a period of months she has become used to
longer exposure, and can enjoy the sun for several hours
daily. A mistake many girls make, she now knows, is
trying to acquire a beautiful tan in too short a time.

Obtain one slowly, she advises, and either duck into
the shade often or cover up with a beach robe. Also,
wear a wide-brimmed beach hat.

A healthy look is better than a burned-to-a-crisp one.
If you don't get to a beach often enough, you can achieve
an even fake tan with the aid of this season's lovely
suntan make-ups. So why risk too much sun and wind
exposure? "I know from experience," says Lucille, "that
a sensitive-skinned girl is in for trouble, unless she
learns how to get along with Old Sol."

The introduction of London Records to the American
public has lost England some of her best musical talent.

Dinah Shore has a promise from Columbia Records that,

good American popular music.

By this time most of the Kenton fans will know, but for
the few who haven't heard, there have been some important

changes in the group. Shelly Manne has turned over the

And, speaking of the Kenton band, those who've been
wondering what happened to Kai Winding, who was Stan's

RECORDS

By Joe Martin

Doris Day's Columbia record, reviewed be-
low, has its humorous side — but the other
side balances with something sentimental.

DANCING OR LISTENING

DORIS DAY (Columbia) — Doris pairs a pseudo-hillbilly tune, "It's A
Quiet Town," with a dreamy ballad, "It's The Sentimental Thing To Do."
The first side includes some humorous patter and fine vocal support from
the Modernaires. The reverse has possibilities as a popular favorite.

JULIA LEE (Capitol) — Julia and Her Boyfriends present "Crazy World"
and "That's What I Like." Instrumental support on each of these is by a
group of fine jazz musicians. Julia's piano and voice combination is tops.
Oddly, though, saxist Benny Carter plays trombone on "Crazy World."

JOSEPH FUCHS (MGM)— The brilliant young violinist caresses two lovely
selections, supported by Macklin Marrow's string group. The familiar "inter-
mezzo" may be your favorite — we prefer the haunting "Lotus Land."

FRANKIE LAINE (Mercury)— The highly stylistic Mr. Laine is particu-
larly effective with "That Ain't Right" — strictly 12 bar blues and well done.
Reverse, "May I Never Love Again" is a melody of some merit.

FREDDY MARTIN (RCA Victor)— Who cares about technical musician-
ship when Freddy Martin pairs "The New Look" with "Jungle Rhumba?"
The lyric on the former is inspired, and much the same can be said for
Barclay Allen's piano solo on the latter.

KATE SMITH (MGM)— The perennial Kate offers "Long After Tonight"
and "The Miracle Of The Bells." We much prefer the first side for its
beautiful melody and restrained vocal. Smith fans will undoubtedly welcome
either one.

HADDA BROOKS (Modern) — Another gal who is equally effective with
a vocal or piano solo is Hadda Brooks. Her version of "Honey, Honey, Honey"
is as sensuous a disc as we've ever heard. It's barrelhouse piano on "Holly-
wood House Party Boogie."

ANNE SHELTON (London) — She of the husky voice is at her very best
with "Oh My Darling." We'll take it for the best she's ever done. Most
will probably prefer "Love Of My Life." But even Cole Porter can be wrong
sometimes.

JIMMY DURANTE (MGM)— The label says Jimmy sings. Call it what
you will, it's Durante. That should be enough to tell you that "The Day
I Read A Book" and "Chidabee-Ch-Ch" are happy, hokum, hoarse, hysterical
and humdingers.

THE HARMONAIRES (Majestic)— A vocal group that sings with taste,
vigor and vitality. David Newlin handles the solo part on "I'll Get Along
Somehow," while the group presents "Runnin' Wild" as a choral classic.

EDDY HOWARD (Majestic)— "Encore, Cherie" is the tune that's been
recorded by many a top artist. Eddy and his trio sparkle, however, on "Just
Because." That's the side that's based on a hillbilly hit of a while ago.

ALBUM ARTISTRY

INSIDE U. S. A. (Columbia)— Buddy Clark and Pearl Bailey shine bril-
liantly in this three-record set. Pearl sings "Blue Grass" and "Protect Me"
in her inimitable fashion. Buddy and the Mitchell Ayres Orchestra combine
to offer "My Gal Is Mine Once More," "Rhode Island Is Famous For You,"
"First Prize At The Fair" and "Haunted Heart."

RUMBA DE CUBA (Capitol I— It's Chuy Reyes and his Hollywood
Mocamho Orchestra who play this group of eight tangy and piquant Cuban
rumbas. Close your eyes and you'll imagine yourself in the famous Mocambo
or the Nalionale in Havana — take your pick. "Blen! Blen ! Blen!" and "Negra
Leono" are our favorites.

FACING the MUSIC

L^oltector 5 L<

orner

By LOUIS PRIMA

Very much as expected, this month's
guest collector, Louis Prima, selected
novelty songs as his topic. Louis' series
of novelties recorded with his band for
RCA-Victor would in themselves make
a good basis for a collection.

The close race for popularity be-
tween ballads and novelties continues
neck and neck. It would be interesting
to know what exact percentage of fans
gets the bigger kick out of such lush
tunes as "Love Of My Life" or the
sentimental "You Were Meant For
Me," as contrasted with the zany,
screwball appeal of "Three Little
Fishies," "The Music Goes Round and
Round" or my own recent "Oh, Flor-
ence." It's a toss-up, I'm sure. The
current crop of wacky ditties, however,
bears out my contention that as long
as we keep our sense of humor, these
inspired bits of zany za-zu-zaz will
keep up the spinning. I'd just as soon
start collecting with some of the more
recent daffy discs.

The irrepressible Spike Jones demon-
strates a frantic and imaginative tech-
nique in his riotous effect for RCA-
Victor with "Down In Jungle Town,v"
a corn treatment in the style of "way
back when." The modern touch, how-
ever, includes a miniature "darkest
Africa" travelogue with a "Peg O' My
Heart" interpolation. But then maybe
you'll prefer the coupling. "Ugga Ugga
Boo Ugga Boo Boo Ugga."

You were no doubt as surprised as I
was with Ray Noble's droll rendition
of "Suspicion," on Columbia, a fast
patter-type of song sung by the maestro
himself with an anglicized Phil Harris
style of expression. Ray tells in a
veddy, veddy British manner about a
husband's confusion in figuring out his
wife's behavior.

There's a place in my heart for that
great hit, "Mahana," which I believe
will be one of the lasting novelties.
The ingratiating manner in which
Peggy Lee lets loose with the lyrics
really knocks me out. Her cute ac-
cented characterization is tops.

Dorothy Shay is a gal with a way
with a ditty, and her "Sample Song"
is a prime example of her talent for
a provocative phrase. The lyrics would
call for lyrical praise from any record-
ing artist.

•If you're fond of these goofy tunes,
then latch on to the ones lately made
by the Prima band, "Tutti Tutti Piz-
zicato" and "The Bee Song." We're
kind of proud of that disc. If you have
as much fun listening as we did wax-
ing, you'll make both of us happy.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO OFFER
Radio Mirror's Best Letter of the Month

Dear Papa David:

All my life, up till the past year, I've
taken for granted my lack of looks and
lack of any particular talent or ability.
After high school I took a job in one of
the local offices and have been there
these fifteen years. I've never married
and while I did participate in church
gatherings and small social events
sponsored by our community, I was al-
ways part of the crowd.

After work one day last year, I
dropped into the corner grocery to buy
the week's supplies. "I wish," I told
the grocer, "food wasn't so expensive.
It cuts such a hole into my budget."
The grocer looked at me and said, "I
wish I could speak English so good as
you."

I thought about the grocer all
through the next day and after work I
returned to the store. I was a little
embarrassed as I said it, but I did man-
age to ask the grocer if he would like
me to give him English lessons. His
face lit up like a Christmas tree.

And so started my giving lessons in
English to the grocer. After he had
taken a few lessons, he asked if he
might bring his wife. "I only," he ex-
plained, "have to teach her when I go
home. She's so eager to learn, so the
children won't laugh at her."

Anna, the wife, was just as eager a
pupil as her husband and soon, she
asked if she could bring the butcher's
wife whose store was next to theirs. I
agreed. This practice of spreading the
class to include all the foreign born
wishing to attend, continued. Soon I
had about fifteen pupils.

Word got around that I was doing
this, and I found people going out of
their way to speak to me who never
noticed me before. Also, I worked bet-
ter as an employee with this new in-
terest. My boss called me in one day,
to tell me how proud . he Was of my
homeschool teaching and to ask if I had
any suggestions about starting a public
speaking class for the office.

And one day, as I was hurriedly leav-
ing the office to prepare for my night
class, I overheard some of the office
workers, men and women discussing
me. "There," said our most promising
salesman, "goes that nice schoolteacher.
Isn't she attractive!"

I felt attractive all the way home. I'm
not really, but life is opening up such
new vistas, since I got outside myself
and tried to help others.

And while I've not been transformed
from an ugly duckling into a swan, I
have changed so much for the better!

I hope I have made my point clear.
That no matter how little we may think
we have to offer, in offering it we may
find it means a great deal to others.

Dear Papa David:

One night, a few years ago, my sister
and I walked down to the corner ice
cream parlor for a malt. All was not
right with our worlds, since both our
husbands were off fighting a war. A
war to free the enslaved peoples of the
world. A war to free the world of hate
and racial prejudice. I was thinking of
this very thing when we noticed a

white-haired old colored man a little
way ahead of us. On either side of him
were two small boys, one about six, the
other about two. As we watched the
grandfather was explaining something
to the older of the two boys and the
little one lagged behind. A few steps
brought us even with him. We parted
a little and he looked up with the most
beautifulsmile in the world on his dark
little face. He held up two chubby
brown hands and my sister took one, I
the other. We had walked only a few
steps when the white haired old gentle-
man noticed his small charge was not
beside him, and turned to see where he
was. When he saw the little fellow's
hands in ours, he stopped and called to
him sharply. The little boy looked
abashed. He didn't know what he had
done that was wrong, but he ran on
ahead. The old negro scolded him un-
mercifully, then looked at us apolo-
getically before he walked on.

The old man, in his wisdom and the
experience of many years, knew that
that little boy — because of his skin be-
ing dark would suffer many hurts and
indignities from such as us. If he could
teach him now to avoid white men, he
could save him at least a part of the
hurts later. He was trying to prepare
him for what he would meet in just a
few short years. We didn't need to be
told what was in the old man's heart —
we could read it in his eyes. He did not
distrust the kindness we had shown,
but he knew the little fellow wouldn't
meet much of it, and it would be easier
if he learned not to expect it.

I have a son now — three years old.
Like all mothers, I day dream about
what he'll be when he grows up. A
doctor? A lawyer? President, maybe?
And I often think of that other little
boy. Yes, he can be a doctor or a law-
yer— if he's exceptionally brilliant and
has an un Usual amount of courage and
determination. If he's an ordinary little
boy, or if he's a little bit shy, about the
best he can do is hope to be a porter,
cook, bellhop, or some other servile job.
My son can be almost anything he wants
to be or has the ability to be, even
though he is an average little boy and
even if he grows up to be an average
man, for this is America.

Saturday morning review, Youth Looks at the News.

Jack Swift is Chief News
Editor for Station KDKA.

WHEN Jack Swift, editor-in-chief of KDKA's news
department, discarded his childhood ambition to
become a brain surgeon and entered the radio
broadcasting field, he had no idea that his action would
take him back to Pittsburgh where he spent his boyhood.

After finishing his high school work, and one year at
the University of Pittsburgh in the Steel City, his family
moved to Florida and he thought he had left Pittsburgh
forever.

It was while he was a student at the University of
Florida, where he spent four years, that he got into
radio. Swift, working his way through school as a
waiter in the university dining room, jokingly asked a
friend, associated with WRUF, the school and state
broadcasting station:

"When are you going to arrange that audition?"

He got the audition and went to work as an announcer
the next day. He's been at it ever since.

Swift completed his college work in 1939 and joined
the staff of WSUN in St. Petersburg, Fla. He quit WSUN
to take the juvenile lead in a stock company, which he
left to go to Los Angeles where he freelanced in radio
for various advertising agencies.

He returned to St. Petersburg to become chief an-
nouncer at WTSP where he remained for two years
when he resigned to join the staff at WSB, Atlanta (Ga.)
Journal station.

Swift came to KDKA as a newscaster in 1944. He

became chief editor last year.

During the war, Swift spent two years in the Navy.
Highlight of his Navy days came when he interviewed
"Ike" Eisenhower and broadcast his victorious home-
coming at Abilene, Kansas.

Six-feet-one-and-a-half inches tall and weighing 187
pounds, Swift is interested in athletics of all kinds, but
he has chosen golf as his favorite sport.

Although he has been an announcer, program man-
ager, commercial manager and special eventer during
his years in radio, Swift is best known to KDKA
listeners as a newsman. He was chosen as the mikeman
for the special broadcasts carried on all the Pittsburgh
stations during the power strike which crippled the
city, and he has been heard many times on the NBC
World News program.

In addition to his work in the newsroom, Swift has
the 7:00 A.M., 8:00 A.M. and 12 o'clock noon newscasts,
and a special teen-age news feature every Saturday
morning at 9:15, Youth Looks at the News.

The Youth Looks at the News program takes part once
a month, in an exchange program with a broadcast
which originates in Manchester, England, on BBC. Swift,
as editor of the program, discusses the week's news with
two teen-agers.

Swift married Winifred Wagner of St. Petersburg soon
after finishing school. They have three children, Susan
Erin Swift. 6; Jack, Jr., 4; Robert Morrision Swift, 1.

A GREAT LAW

Dear Papa David:

There is a business man in Seattle,
Washington, who exemplifies a great
spiritual law in his daily living. The
curious fact is that he does so uncon-
sciously. He is not a religious person
and his education ended at the ninth
grade. He hitch-hiked and rode a bi-
cycle from the middle west to Seattle
and got small jobs there. Now he has
his own factory which furnishes an im-
plement of his designing all over the
world.

When earnings began to accumulate
he grew troubled. He remembered his
early poverty and thought gratefully of
those who had befriended him. He
wanted to do something about it. His
first step was to build a guesthouse on
his property overlooking one of Seat-
tle's lakes. It was completely furnished
and the pantry was stocked. Invitations
were sent to former friends, with trans-
portation enclosed, to use this guest-
house for a month.

The man who delivered his laundry
had a hare-lip which disfigured him
shockingly. "Son," he said one day,
"would you like to get that little thing
fixed up?" The man cringed and mut-
tered that he could not afford the ex-
pensive operation and lost time. My
friend put him in a fine hospital with the
best plastic surgeon available and saw
him triumphantly through. Another
time it was a returned veteran hope-
lessly crippled. He was installed with
his young wife in the guest-cottage
while a special car was built that he
could operate and a small business set
up for him. These are but two of many
such instances.

Still the money piled up, for every
time he spent a large sum on some hu-
man sufferer, his business increased its
earnings.

I first knew him when he had two
sons, married and sharing in the admin-
istration of the factory's business and
profits. He had been widowed for years
but had recently married an attractive
woman. She told me this story: When
they were married he told her that she
would never be a rich woman through
his death, and that she would be amply
provided for always, but need expect
no big diamonds and expensive fur
coats while he could still find somebody
who needed that money more; that he
would not leave an estate for his family
to quarrel over but give all that he had
to certain carefully-inspected charities,
such as the hospital for crippled chil-
dren.

Life, which had once been so sordid
and ugly, became very beautiful for
this man because he stumbled on a
great law: we only own that which we
share, and in sharing we are invariably
blessed — spiritually and materially.

IT'S HOLLY-
WOOD

Dear Editor:

Kindly settle a dis-
agreement between
my friend and my-
self. I say that
Woman in White
and Today's Chil-
dren are broadcast
from the West Coast,

as I have heard some SARA J ANE WELLS
of the actors on Lux Theater. My friend
tells me it is Chicago.

Miss M. S.
Philadelphia, Pa.

You're right! These two serials do orig-
inate in Hollywood. And here's Sarajane
Wells (Eileen Holmes) of Woman in White.

STORY TELLER

Dear Editor:

Can you give me
any information
about Nelson Olm-
sted? I have found
his short stories
more interesting
than any other pro-
gram on the air.

NELSON OLMSTED

NBC's Nelson Olmsted (Sun. 2:00 P.M.
EDT), although born in Minneapolis, spent
most of his youth in Texas. He became
interested in acting while attending the
University of Texas where he received his
Bachelor of Science degree. He broke into
radio via a local Austin, Texas, station.

ON BROADWAY

Dear Editor:

Could you give me
some information
about the Goldbergs ?
They have been off
radio for nearly two
years. I would love
to hear that lovable
program again.

Miss M. H.
New York, N. Y.

GERTRUDE BERG

It looks as though it'll be quite some
time before you hear the Goldbergs on the
air again as they recently opened a play
based on the serial on Broadway — and it
was a hit! They're playing at the Belasco
theatre under the title "Me and Molly."
Among the former "nobodys" who learned
acting in The Goldbergs and then went on
to fame are John Garfield, Minerva Pious,
and Selena Royle. Gertrude Berg, the orig-
inator of the serial, plays the role of Molly
ul the Belasco.

LARRY HAINES

ONCE A MUG

Dear Editor:

One of my fa-
vorite programs is
Rosemary. I have
been listening to it
since the beginning.
Can you tell me
something about
Larry Haines the
actor who takes the
part of Lefty Hig-
gins.

Miss I. M. K.
New Haven, Conn.

Larry Haines, born and educated in
Mount Vernon, N. Y., got his start in radio
playing hard-boiled heavies. Realizing that
he was becoming type-cast as a mug, he
cut down the percentage to the point where
such characterizations comprise only about
half his work.

OFF THE AIR

Dear Editor:

In February, a
new program was
introduced on the
air, called Twelve
Players. However,
lately, I haven't been
able to find it any-
where on the dial,
and my family is
disappointed. It was
the most interesting
program I've ever

heard (speaking truthfully) and we've
waited patiently for another of its unusual
plays. Won't we ever hear it again?

Mrs. A. D.
Perth Amboy, N. J.

This show which was heard Mondays on
ABC was last broadcast on March 29th.
Twelve Players was a stock company com-
posed of a dozen of Hollywood's best radio
actors, and one of them was Lurene Tattle.

Conrad Binyon (he

was born in Holly-
wood, joined the Family in April of 1939.
And is the only member of the cast lacking
a colorful theatrical background. (But he
seems to be doing all right. ) Conrad's
greatest ambition is someday to write and
produce a program like One Mans Family.

MR. D. A.'s
SECRETARY

Dear Editor:

For some time I
have been a regular
listener of Mr. Dis-
trict Attorney and
have become greatly
interested in Vicki
Vola who portrays
the D. A.'s secretary
Edith Miller. Re-
cently, I discovered that she is also Stacy
McGill on the Christopher belles program.
What does she look like?

Miss R. R.
Toledo 10, Ohio

As you can see. Vicki Vola still manages
to look pretty despite the terrific pushing
around she gets on these two programs.
Although she resembles Luise Rainer, Vicki
is far from Viennese — her ancestry is Span-
ish and French.

THEME SONGS

Dear Editor:

I listen to the
radio every day, and
I would like to have
some information on
some theme songs.
Could you tell me
what theme songs
are used on The
Romance of Helen
Trent, Life Can Be
Beautiful, When a Girl Marries, and Joyce
Jordan, M. D.? Would like to see Les
Tremavne of Jovce Jordan.

Miss A. S.

The tender "Juanita" sets the mood for
The Romance of Helen Trent, and When
a Girl Marries is introduced by the "Sere-
nade" by Drigo. We weren't, able to help
you on the theme for Life Can Be Beauti-
ful as it is an original piece and, so far,
is untitled. "Poem" is the theme for Joyce
Jordan, and here's Les Tremavne who plays

1. Band of suction cups inside cap shuts

RUBBER COMPANY

Chuck Thompson and Byrum Saam, the
two WIBG sportscasters who spend most
of their summer afternoons and even-
ings in a booth at Shibe Park, giving
fans the ballgames, play by play.

A DAY WITH

(^kuch ana d5i

THOSE two up there in the WIBG booth in Shibe Park
in Philadelphia, Byrum Saam and Chuck Thompson,
are a rather busy pair right now, and they've been
mighty busy since the start of the season back in April.
What's more, they'll stay that busy until the last out is
called, come the end of next September. Take an average
day with By and Chuck:

They're up as early as you are, for they have to compile
a complete set of records of yesterday's ball games, and
tie them in with the season's totals to date, so that at a
glance, they can tell you what any and every player in
both the American and National Leagues has done, right
to the moment.

After that, it's a jaunt to the Phillies' office, because the
club is playing out of town today, and they have to get
any inside information that headquarters can divulge
about the club. If it's a cloudy or rainy day, it's a con-
stant check with the A's office to discover whether there's
a game at Shibe Park this afternoon. If that game is
rained out, they go to the WIBG studios in downtown
Philadelphia, where a telegrapher is stationed to bring
a play-by-play wire report of the Phillies' game from
out of town. They do what is termed a reconstruction
game, from his reports, sitting at a desk in a studio, with-
out ever seeing a baseball pitched all afternoon. If the
Phillies should happen to be rained out too, our wire
game would come from some other city where fair
weather permits the playing 0f a game. That's why our
records have to be compiled so perfectly every morning.
If the Cleveland pitcher fanned the Detroit baseman, the
fans want to know if he'd done it before, and how many

times, and when was the last time? That applies in the
case of any batter against any pitcher. Those morning
compilations are the background of every good baseball
broadcast. That's why they're made, and kept so accu-
rately. A sportscaster has an actual record of everything
a player has done on the field at his fingertips, from day
to day, all season long. He carries those records with
him to the WIBG studio, if the game is reconstructed or
to Shibe Park, if he's to broadcast from the left field
radio booth there. When he goes to the park, his first
stop is the home team's office for any information he can
gather there, that would make today's broadcast more
interesting to the fans.

After the visit to the office, they stop into the dressing
rooms of both the home and visiting teams to chat with
the managers and players to acquire additional informa-
tion that might help their broadcast. Then, they are
ready to head for the booth under the roof, and set them-
selves up for the broadcast, arranging records on the
players, line-ups, commercials and information picked up
from visits to the teams. With Saam and Thompson this
is practically automatic. Having worked together through
several seasons, they can practically read each other's
minds, and know when and how to do what, with the least
expenditure of words and action.

When the game starts it means one hundred and fifty
words a minute of ad libbing for approximately two and
a half hours, telling just what is happening down there on
the field, in a manner that keeps the fans keenly interested
every minute of the game, the same fans who say, "Those
baseball broadcasters — what a cinch job they have!"

TEX BENEKE

RUMOR has it that one of the reasons
the three branches of our military
service were combined under one
Secretary was a young man named
Gordon Lee Beneke. For Tex, of the
United States Navy, was the man
selected to. lead the late Major Glenn
Miller's Army Air Force Band.

It wasn't fate that put Tex in front
of Glenn's post-war band. Mrs. Glenn
Miller and manager Don Haynes also
knew that Glenn would have wanted
Tex to lead the band.

Major Miller started on a flight from
England to France one morning in De-
cember, 1944. He never reached his
destination. But Tex Beneke agreed to
lead the band only after arranging
that it would be billed as "The Glenn
Miller Orchestra." That's how the
band premiered at New York's Capitol
Theater in January of 1946.

Recently, however, Mrs. Miller, Don
and Tex agreed that it would be best
to change over and call the band Tex
Beneke and his Orchestra. Mrs. Miller,
you see, is still a partner in the or-
ganization. Fact is, Glenn is still with
the band. Trombonist Jerry Priddy, to
whom Glenn had handed his own trom-
bone, has never failed to carry Glenn's
horn with the band's equipment. The
size and instrumentation of the band
are in agreement with what Glenn had
told Don he wanted for his post-war
aggregation. Even chief arranger
Norm Leyden was first discovered by
Glenn while in the Army.

More than all this, the band has
carried on in the tradition of being
the miracle band of the nation. Glenn
always had a group that was finan-
cially on top. And now, when many
orchestras are finding it difficult to
keep going in the face of rising costs
and fewer jobs, the Tex Beneke unit
is traveling with thirty-one musicians
and breaking records from coast to
coast. No small reason, of course, is
the series of hit discs the band has
been turning out for RCA Victor. Add
to that national radio programs such as
the Army Air Force show on Mutual.

Most amazing of all, perhaps, is that
although Glenn Miller last toured the
country with his own band in 1940, the
most requested tunes even now are the
old Miller records such as "Kala-
mazoo," "In The Mood," "Little Brown
Jug," "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and
"Ida."

ALL KINDS of

Clint Buehlman, more than a
disc jockey — an institution!

Clint, his wife, Marcia,
and son Mark pose while
young Marcia sketches.

R
M

CLINT BUEHLMAN is more than a disc jockey— he's
an institution, but he'd be the last to admit it and the
first to make a crack about that word "institution."

But a fellow can't be on the air for practically three
hours a day, six days a week for something like fifteen
years without becoming a daily habit. Besides, his
"Hooper" consistently indicates his shows pull more
listeners than all the opposition combined — and that's
something.

In fact, you rarely hear the Buehlman name men-
tioned on his show. It's generally, "This Is Yours Truly
Buehly," and that's all.

Buehly is a native of Buffalo and attended schools in
both Buffalo and Rochester, graduating from John Mar-
shall High in Rochester. He is now celebrating his silver
anniversary in radio, but he's not the greybeard you
might think. He first broke into radio in a small way in
Buffalo back in 1923 as a child actor. "Yes — I was one
of those brats— don't you hate 'em?" he says.

Clint is a proficient pianist but confines his playing
to his own living room. His one great hobby is fishing
and, believe it or not, he always manages his schedule
so as to take off a few days periodically to fish with his
78-year-old grandmother. He used to visit her fre-
quently when she lived down state in Pennsylvania, but
now that is unnecessary — Grandmother lives with Clint.
So does one of his favorite people— his mother-in-law.

Mr. and Mrs. Buehlman live in a Buffalo suburb, and

have a daughter, Marcia, six years old, and a son, Mark,
who is one and one-half.

Buehly has won widespread praise from parents,
pupils, teachers and the general public for his auditions
for junior m.c.s. For twenty weeks this Winter and
Spring he conducted a contest at a specified high school
to determine the most promising radio personality in
each of the four classes — freshman, sophomore, junior,
senior. Every Saturday morning he auditioned the four
top vote-getters and selected a boy to be his assistant for
one week. Each week's winner received a $50 bond and
$10 for expenses — to cover cabfare and the like — and an
invaluable boost in his ambitions.

At Christmas time 1946 an association organized to aid
underprivileged children in rural schools asked him to
broadcast an appeal for "used" greeting cards. Any kind
were wanted — to teach children color and to provide
bookmarks, scrapbooks and the like. Clint made six
simple, brief announcements. Then the postoffice called
for help. Some 96 mailbags — more than three tons —
with something like an estimated 1,500,000 cards de-
scended on WBEN from New York State, Pennsylvania
and Ontario. It was necessary to get a special freight car
to transport the cards to the society's headquarters in
New York City. The company decided to call a halt then
and there. Later it was learned that Buffalo and Buehl-
man contributed more cards than the rest of the entire
country solicited!

is being flooded with letters giving him

He'll be graduated from the University

There's some talk going around that
radio will be handing out its own
Academy Awards in the near future for
outstanding work on the airlanes. But
the Superman outfit isn't waiting
around for that to happen. For consist-
ently outstanding performances on this
series, members of the cast are getting
a Superman Oscar, which consists of a
tiny silver figure of Superman, to be
worn on a bracelet or watch chain.

We're kind of sorry that Child's
World has been shifted from the Sun-
day evening spot to one on Thursdays
at 10 P.M. We think this unrehearsed
program is one of the best on the air to-
day. Anyone with any children should
listen, because the show gives you a
chance to find out many things about
your own children, from the mouths of
other children, which you'd never be
able to dig out in a million years with-
out the help of a competent, under-
standing educator and psychologist like
Helen Parkhurst, who runs the doings.

Well, Morton Downey's won his point.
He's switched to NBC, now, and he'd
have been there a long time ago, if it
hadn't taken him so long to convince
the bigwigs that his late time spot was
the very best spot for him to be in.
Downey thinks it's such a good time be-
cause he feels that after listeners have
been beaten on the ears for hours by
the world news — none of which is so
lovely and charming these days —
they're generally nervous. And that's
not a state conducive to slumber.
Downey plans his programs very care-
fully, so that they'll soothe his listeners
for those fifteen minutes between 11: 15

and 11:30.

Bill Lawrence, who directs the
Screen Guild Players shows, has a tip
for young aspirants to radio careers.
His advice is for youngsters to stop try-
ing to build themselves up as character
actors with half a dozen dialects in their
voice boxes. Lawrence says that the
character field is very tough to crack
because competition is very stiff, but
every radio producer is constantly
looking for fresh, new voices for
straight acting parts. Actually, reading
straight lines and making them con-
vincing and dramatically effective is a
pretty tough job.

and The Shadow has been signed to star
in a series of six movies to be made in

role of a killer in the psychological
thriller series.

You probably know that on the Case
Book of Gregory Hood, they sometimes
use real characters to give the show the
proper touch of realism. Once in a
while, the actual person — say J. Edgar
Hoover, or a Senator, or a band leader,
appears as a guest and plays "himself
in the script. Usually, an actor will do
an imitation of the real person. For
this, the program has to get what's
called a release from the individual to
be portrayed. That's normal enough.
But what strikes us a little bit funny is
that when the script mentions a place,
let's say the Wardman Park Hotel in
Washington, or the Racquet Club in
Palm Springs, the producers have to get
releases from the places mentioned!

Eastern agency representatives in
Hollywood to buy summer replacement
shows reveal that their top budget
figure is $5000 — or about 50% below the
price paid for "dog days" shows during
the past two years. From the looks of
things, 1948 will be the lightest com-
mercial summer on the networks since
1940.

Pat O'Brien and Virginia Bruce will
co-star in the summer dramatic series
replacing Jimmy Durante this summer.
Writing and direction will be in charge
of True Boardman.

Teen-age Barbara is CBS's new Junior
Miss (Saturdays at 11:30 A.M. EDT).

Barbara 1/1/ hi tin

WELL, that sidesplitting Junior Miss
of stage and screen is all set for a
long, long run on the radio. You
hear it these days on CBS, Saturdays at
11:30 A.M. EDT, with Barbara Whiting.

The late Dick Whiting left more to
posterity than a whole list of song hits,
among them "Till We Meet Again," "Be-
yond The Blue Horizon," "My Ideal,"
and "Sleepy Time Gal." The success of
his two talented, lovely daughters bids
fair to outlive the popularity of any
song. Margaret Whiting has already
made her mark as a singer. Now, it
looks as though her little sister Bar-
bara is likely to take over a special
comedy "Great" spot and make it all
her own.

Barbara was born in Hollywood, Cal-
ifornia, almost exactly sixteen years
ago. Last January she was graduated
from University High School. All of
which makes her being cast in the title
role of Junior Miss pretty much a job
of type casting. Besides, the whole pat-
tern of the show is more or less familiar
to her, since she played the part of
Fuffy Adams in the screen version of
Sally Benson's play. While still at high
school, she also played in the film,
"Home Sweet Homicide."

Until quite recently, it was a ques-
tion in the Whiting household just what
Barbara would do for a career. She is
very talented. She plays the piano well
and is also a pretty good song stylist.
In fact, she was the first to sijig "Pass
That Peace Pipe," performing for
friends at a party. Later, her sister,
Maggie, was signed to make a recording
of that song. Barbara, still listing her
talents, also writes a bit.

Barbara isn't entirely new to the
radio listener. She played Mildred in
the Meet Corliss Archer series. In a
way, her experience on that show about
adolescent girls can be considered a
part of her training for her new role.
And, although she looks just right and
. is about the right age for the role of
Junior Miss, let no one think that the
type casting goes all the way. Barbara
is a girl with a bit of a head on her
shoulders and she'll probably not wind
up the eternal sub-ingenue on the air.

Just listening to radio

didn't earn Bill this title. That was

merely the way it all began

NUMBER ONE FAN

WEBSTER defines a fan as "an enthusiastic devotee
of a particular diversion." Take that definition,
multiply it by a couple, of thousand, and you've
got Bill Geringer, radio's show-goer extraordinary.

Slight nineteen-year-old Bill is the little man who's
practically always there in the studio audience, smit-
ing his palms or giving with the laughs that issue from
loudspeakers coast to coast. During the past four
years — since he was fifteen — young Bill has person-
ally attended some six to seven thousand radio shows,
averaging four a night on weekdays and seven or eight
on Saturdays and Sundays. Week in, week out, morn-
ing, noon (he frequently skips lunch) and night, Bill
haunts the studios, major networks or independents,
taking in audience shows. Going to radio shows is
Bill's hobby and he is an absolute fanatic about it.

Here's the way Bill feels about it, as he explained
to his parents way back when they first showed con-
cern over his devotion to radio:

"It's a hobby. Like collecting stamps or match-covers
or autographs."

"Yes," his father agreed, "but what have you got to
show for all the time you put in at it?"

"What," countered Bill, with all due respect toward
his father, "have you got to show for all the movies
and plays you saw and books, magazines and news-
papers you read?"

When his dad pointed out that these things either
entertained for the moment or improved the mind, Bill
just grinned meaningfully at his parents; they saw that
he had something there and let him keep at it without
another word of reproof, save that he keep up with
his work and get home at a reasonable hour. Home is
a small brownstone apartment on West End Avenue,
in New York City.

It all began one summer's day four years ago. It
was a broiling hot day and Bill was idling through
Radio City with little money in his pockets and much

time on his. hands. He noticed a long line of people fil-
ing through an entrance to the NBC studios in the
RCA building. He got on line, too, and soon was seated
comfortably in an air-cooled studio, awaiting he knew
not what.

As luck would have it, the program was Here's Babe
Ruth, a sustaining show featuring stories about the
Sultan of Swat on WEAF (now WNBC). It was just
the kind of program that would entrance an impres-
sionable fifteen-year-old, who, if the truth be known,
wouldn't have minded being in the bleachers at the
Yankee Stadium, at the time.

"How long has this been going on?" Bill asked him-
self as he settled back in his chair and gratefully
sniffed the purified atmosphere provided by NBC. At
any rate, after the broadcast, he made inquiries and
learned that there were many other free audience
shows that afternoon. Bill took them all in and it
wasn't until dusk had cast long, cool shadows across
Manhattan's simmering sidewalks that Bill quit the
building and headed for home.

The next morning, bright and early, Bill was back
at the studios, perfectly willing for NBC to wile away
another tedious summer's day for him. From 9: 00 A.M.
to 9:00 P.M. Bill remained cloistered in the cool and
colorful confines of Radio City. He had discovered a
new and fascinating world and he just had no desire
to venture out into the real but none too inviting one
outside. He took in seven or eight programs in all
that day. He doesn't recall whether he even remem-
bered to take time out for lunch.

The rest of that long summer vacation was more of
the same thing. After a few weeks of it, however, Bill
began to learn the ropes and to exercise discrimination
in the shows he chose to see. He pestered ushers and
receptionists at the various studios with a flock of
questions. After a while the studio employees and
even a few performers came (Continued on page 98)

EVERY woman who starts her day by listening
to Don McNeill on the American Broadcasting
Company's Breakfast Club must, at some time
or another, have wondered if his stories about Kay
and the boys weren't just too good to be true.

She must, sometime, have turned to her hus-
band, asking, "Dear, do you suppose it really
happens that way?"

She wouldn't be human if she didn't add, "Don't
the McNeills ever have any problems?"

Answers to the twin questions are easy.

To number one — yes, Don's radio reporting is
accurate. Daily, a goodly portion of McNeill
living is passed on to the radio audience. More, in
fact, than listeners realize.

To the second — sure, the McNeills have prob-
lems. They wouldn't be the vital, interesting
family you hear on the air if they didn't have.

But Don and Kay McNeill also have that quality
our grandparents used to call "character." What
they believe, what they think, what they want,
shapes their lives into a pattern which today is
rarely found in the families of stars.

You need to know how easily, when

You need to feel the weariness that

your time — demands that can wring
you dry by the end of the day, with no
energy left to take a normal, human
interest in your family and friends,
demands that leave you but a single

In the 100,000 letters and cards you

you realize he is a good friend who

Most vital factor in that success is

THIS year millions of Americans will have ring-
side seats at two of the greatest shows our

democracy affords. In addition to the radio
broadcasts that will make play-by-play news avail-
able to everyone, both the Republican and- Demo-
cratic conventions will be extensively televised.

Whether you are listening at home or watching
one of the screens now installed in so many public
places, it will be well to know how to interpret
what you will see and hear.

There will be color, fun, .excitement and a cer-

democracy will be soberly at work.

These conventions will chart the path our nation
will take in the next four years, and the delegates
know it. Beneath the froth, fun and fury will be
the serious will of a free people freely choosing
candidates for the presidency.

TUSHEI!

Behind the dignified entrance to the Cost'ello Youth Foundation, hundreds of kids learn how to have all kinds of
fun — often, as in the checker game, under the expert tutelage of President Lou Costello and Secretary Bud Abhott.

IS Lou Costello on the level?
Is his concern for the welfare of youth a headline -
grabbing sham? Is the Lou Costello Junior Youth
Foundation, created as a monument to his son, a fraud?

Ugly rumors are heard: It's a cheap publicity stunt
. . . It's just an act . . . The radio comedian has been
branded by a newspaper columnist as "a self-advertised
friend of kids."

Since the questions have been raised, they should be
examined, and answered.

If these attacks have any basis in fact, 10,280 enrolled
members of the Foundation have been sold out, and
many of the most august pillars of the Los Angeles
community have been duped in a fabulous swindle. So
let's take a look at the facts:

The Foundation has been in existence for two years.

Is Lou's Foundation run from the

heart ... or for the publicity? The answer

is in the facts, and here they are

In the Foundation's fully-equipped clinic, Nurse Gon-
zales and Dr. Kovner keep everyone in top condition.

Any time Bud and Lou can spare is spent looking
over shoulders in the ever-humming Hobby Shop.

For the smallest people, there's a playground within
the larger playground, a haven for the pint-sized.

From an opening enrollment of 2,000, its membership
has swelled to 10,280 youngsters from the ages of six
to nineteen, with 5,000 additional members anticipated
in the forthcoming few months. There are no dues, and
no conditions of membership.

Two thousand children were taught to swim last
summer at the Foundation's modern swimming pool,
equipped with underwater lights for night use, regula-
tion diving boards, lounge chairs, tables, brilliantly col-
ored umbrellas, and lockers for boys and girls.

Foundation facilities include, in addition, a softball
diamond with bleachers, a 140 by 100 foot skating rink
for which skates are furnished free, basketball courts,
a football gridiron, badminton courts, tennis courts, ping
pong tables, an outdoor barbecue, an arts and crafts
room, clubrooms, workshops, classrooms, a medical clinic

and a dental clinic. Both clinics are fully equipped.

Sand boxes, a wading pool, teeter-totters, a miniature
merry-go-round, slides, a large room for drawing and
games, a children's library, and a record player and
radio are among the features of The Little People's
Department, an enclosed wonderland for tots from six
to eight.

These are available to the public seven days a week,
from 10 A.M. until 10:15 P.M., under the pleasant, un-
obtrusive supervision of a paid staff of college-trained
social and playground workers.

Dentists and doctors are on call free of charge for
needy youngsters. Children suffering malnutrition get
free vitamins. Food is distributed at a foundation snack
bar that boasts a complete soda fountain.

*-*.W;

When HOLLY SLOAN came to New York City from Mait-
land, N. Y.; she found that merely leaving her home town
was not enough to make her a self-reliant "career girl."
Gradually, her city experiences have made her more mature:
her job, for instance, as secretary to Wilbur Ramage, brilliant
producer for the NYBC radio network: her meeting with
dynamic young Johnny Starr, and the attraction that blazed
into love. And most of all, perhaps, Holly's character has
strengthened through her own determination to forge a place
for herself as a radio singer. For she understands how small
her chances are, yet she continues to work hard, and to hope
thai luck will favor her, (Holly Sloan is played by Gale Page)

When Holly was eight, her mother died, and AUNT
KETURAH came to keep house for Holly and her father,
HENRY SLOAN. Through the years, Keturah, who is blind,
has been mother, counselor and friend to Holly. When the
family' came to New York so that Dad Sloan could develop
his wood-working business, Keturah was at first oppressed by
the noise and restlessness of city life. But now she has
LAURALEE to worry about — little Lauralee McWilliams,
crippled and embittered, who became a member of the
household when her mother was forced to go to a hospital.
(Henry Sloan is played by Charles Seel; Keturah is played by
Georgia Backus; Lauralee McWilliams is Marlene Aames I

HOLLY

— wnv (etvwib mat a via all teemb fo exaaae^a/e

JOHNNY STARR, attractive, charm-
ing, almost became the typical "young
man about Manhattan" — except that
he had too much intelligence to be
forced into such a pattern. Instead,
he has worked hard enough to become,
at less than thirty, a vice-president of
NYBC. He has successfully escaped
his wealthy mother's apron strings,
and is ready to defy her over his
engagement to Holly Sloan, whom the
despotic Mrs. Starr fears and hates.
(Johnny Starr is played by Bob Bailey)

HOLLY

SLOAN

CLAY BROWN is from Maitland,
too — in fact, it was in search of
Holly that he first came to New
York. He found a friend in warm-
hearted SALLY BROWN, who is
no relation, but who helped when
he was in trouble. But Clay is so
much in love with Holly that he is
blind to everything else — blind to
Sally's love for him, and also to
the fact of Holly's love for Johnny
Starr. (Clay is played by Vic
Perrin; Sally is Louise Arthur)

MILLICENT STARR's world is com-
posed of her wealth, her position . . .
and Johnny. She has never understood
why Johnny prefers to maintain his own
New York apartment rather than live
more luxuriously with her on Long
Island, and she so despises Holly that
she will go to any length to prevent
this "country girl" from "trapping"
Johnny into marriage. She uses a
heart condition to k«ep Johnny by
her side, and away from Holly Sloan.
(Millicent is played by B. J. Thompson)

WILBUR RAMAGE, production manager of
NYBC, is one of President PRENTISS JEF-
FRIES' most brilliant aides. Wilbur can certainly
help advance his secretary Holly's radio career — -
if he doesn't complicate things by falling in love
with her. (Wilbur Ramage, at left, is Bob Grif-
fin: Prentiss Jeffries is played by Joe Forte)

ADELE KINGMAN is a successful career girl. As
Talent Director for NYBC, she has the respect of her
co-workers, the favorable eye of President Prentiss
Jeffries, and had — until Holly Sloan arrived — the
particular attention of Johnny Starr. Adele loves
Johnny, but she fought to overcome her resent-
ment of Holly. (Adele is played by Helene Burke)

BOY WITH BIKE

Radio Mirror's Prize Poem

I think he has a bicycle up there,

Just like the one he loved so much on earth.

I'm sure the angels, as they stitched and

pinned
And matched new feathers, noticing the

mirth
That lingered roguishly in those bright

eyes,
(As if they still saw kites and tops and

things
Like that) decided then and there
A boy would much prefer a bike to wings!

And so I picture those small, tireless feet,
Still in the same scuffed shoes he wore down

here,
As pedaling up a gentle, blue-hazed slope
Then coasting slowly, (For the Throne is

near).
And oh, I know all Heaven understands
And smiles to hear him shout, "Look, God!

No hands!"

— Billie Marie Crabb

SANS STRINGS

I lend flour to the lady next door

Or salt or butter or bread,

I don't get them back from the lady next door

(Sometimes I borrow instead.)

I lend books to the man" down the way.
He must have a dozen or more;

And dollars to people who'll never repay —
Like the lad in the novelty store.

I lend paper and dresses and soap
And socks to the girl 'cross the hall.
I let them go with never a hope —
Not that it matters at all.

Then one day I offered my heart — as a gift-
To a stranger who just happened by,
And he laughed as he took it — and dropped

it — and broke it
And returned it — with scarcely a sigh.

— -Minna Adams

TO ONE WAYFARING

If you should reach your star

And bring it down
To set resplendent in

Your chosen crown,

0, I would join my voice
To aH high praise

And show my love for you

In quiet ways
Within the radiance of

Your strength and power,

1, too, would know a little
shining hour.

But should you fail, my love,

O, should you fail.
Returning without star

Or holy grail.
Then might my love in splendor

Show itself.
Spread like a wing upon

The heart's wide shelf,
Healing your wounds of pride.

Of dork defeat.
Until, in wonderment.

You found them sweet.

—Gladys McKee

THE DIFFERENCE

Whether you like or dislike a

plan,
Such as "Sharing the Wealth" is.
Depends on whether the wealth

to be shared,
Is yours or somebody else's.
— W. H. Nusbaum

TWO MEN

One man will shout his creed from a
street corner

Where crowds rush by, and yet re-
main unheard;

While one in silence lifts the stone of
Time,

And hews upon it one immortal
word.

— Rosa Zagnoni Marinoni

* * *

Browse a bit among these verses, for one of them

BOBTAILED TUNES

My heart is light with singing
Skylarking, bobtailed tunes
With no more rhyme nor reason
Than fluted pantaloons.

I've soup to eat for supper
All filled with luscious stuff . . .
And butternuts are in my cake,
But that is not enough

To cause this tumbling music
My heart can not define.
I wonder dear, if it could be
The way your eyes meet mine?
— Helen Mitchel

COMFORT

You come with reassurance for

my grief,
And teach me why I have no

cause to mourn.
Never a bough, you say, but

came to leaf
After the weight of winter

had been borne;
Never a midnight yet but came

to dawn,
And no dark dream that crept

on heavy feet
But vanished lightly after

sleep was gone.
All this I know. And laughter

still is sweet.

But if you cancel every grief

with cheer,
What of this little hollow in

my heart,
Shaped to a memory, desolate

and dear,
And for my secret teardrops

set apart?
Your calm philosophy can

hardly see
How much my tender sorrow

comforts me.

— Silence Buck Bellows

POPULAR POET

I find her verses quite appealing;
They leave me with a tickly

feeling;
And yet, despite the cash they

net her,
I always think my own are

better.
Though fame and fortune come

to woo her.
And editors en masse pursue her,
I dare, though ethics would

forbid it,
At times, to wonder how she did

it.
But if contrarily I question
Her methods (What a foul

suggestion!)
Or if perchance I'm over-zealous.
My conscience screams that I am

jealous.
The fact she's sometimes

mediocre,
Though insufficient to provoke

her.
Reminds me -that I Tnust be

gallant
And not reveal my hidden talent.
— Faye Chilcote Walker

Each Sunday night, Dick

finds his heart in his throat — -

but his fingers go right

on playing that winning accordion

BECK COJVTIJVO

I CAN hardly believe all the wonderful
things that have happened to me in the
last six months. But there are a few mil-
lion witnesses from coast to coast who have
heard it as it happened. And, maybe if I
tell my story, other boys and girls who have
dreams like mine will be encouraged to have
faith in themselves and keep trying.

A year ago I graduated from Fresno High
School at seventeen and entered Fresno State
College. I majored in music because that
was the only thing in the world I cared about.
After two weeks at college I grew restless.
Just having music in the classroom wasn't
enough for me. I had to get out and make
music.

I talked the matter over with my parents,
and because they understood me completely,
they agreed that I couldn't be happy unless I
was playing my accordion.

So, with their approval, I went over to the
Fresno Musicians Union to see about out-
of-town bookings. I had joined the Fresno
Musicians Union two years previously, and
all the men had been especially kind to me
because I was their youngest member when
I started at the age of fifteen.

That night there were no spectacular sky-
rockets fighting the Fresno skies, but there
might just as well have been for me. Be-

Night with Horace Heidt, on which Dick Contino may be

cause it was the evening I bumped into one
of Horace Heidt's scouts who was looking
for performers to compete in the Horace
Heidt National Talent Contest radio program.

He explained to me that Mr. Heidt was
starting on a cross-country tour, looking for
talented boys and girls in some of the smaller
as well as larger towns all over the United
States. Every week the Heidt scouts would
gather up all prospective contestants in these
towns and audition them carefully. The field
would then be narrowed down to four or five
acts which would appear on the Sunday night
program over NBC. The winner of each
week's contest would be carried over to com-
pete against new rivals in a new town on the
following week.

Thus one individual could continue to com-
pete as long as he continued to win.

The weekly prize was two hundred and
fifty dollars; the quarter-finals award was
seven hundred and fifty, in addition to the
chance of becoming a regular member of Mr.
Heidt's troupe.

That same evening I was auditioned. After
waiting around for a bewildering half-hour
with my fingers turning from water to ice, I
found myself standing in the middle of a bare
stage, playing "Lady of Spain" with a kind of
earnest desperation. (Continued on page 88)

Ski clothes for their honeymoon: an extra gift to Mr. and Mrs. Don Wi

By
JOHN

NELSON

This story is told for Ra-
dio Mirror by the m.c. of
Bride and Groom, heard
daily at 2:30 EDT, ABC.

MOST important of all, let's try to keep it always the
love story of the boy and girl next door." That
was how John Masterson summed up the basic
idea of the Bride and Groom broadcasts, when he orig-
inated the program more than three years ago. Instead
of a dreamed-up "tinsel and glamor" affair, the story of
each day's couple was to be a true romance that had
really happened to the kind of people we all know in our
everyday life.

Not that this has meant ruling out excitement or
drama. Just the opposite. Even the world's best writer
of melodrama couldn't dream up plots more unusual, or
exciting, or even hilarious, than the things that happened
in the real-life romances of these couples.

For example, the couple who first met when the boy
placed the girl under arrest (he was a traffic cop), and

the couple whose love story took place in the hush-hush
atmosphere of the atom-bomb project — and the couples
whose proposals had the various settings of a pawn-
shop, a locked museum, and a war-torn European city,
with one proposal even being made over a trans- oceanic
phone when the boy and girlhad no idea if they would
ever again see one another.

Yes, those of us who have listened to the hundreds of
love stories of the "boy and girl next door" know that
truth really is stranger than fiction. That's why unknown
bridal couples have so greatly out-numbered the head-
line celebrities on Bride and Groom. We've had front-
page names, yes — war heroes, motion picture people,
writers, and artists — but in each case the couple was
chosen not because they were celebrities, but because
theirs was an outstanding love story.

That was true of the recent appearance of just about
the most beautiful bride and the most handsome groom
ever to appear on our broadcasts — Norma Christopher
and Donald Winton, of Pasadena, California. We weren't
the first ones to be aware of Norma's unusual beauty,
either. In fact, a whole city beat us to it.

Norma was attending the Pasadena City College when
the events started that were to make her name and face
so well known to hundreds of thousands of people
everywhere. Her school was one of the two colleges
from which candidates were chosen for the royal role
of Queen for the famous Pasadena Tournament of Roses.

A total of one hundred and fifty candidates were
chosen from the colleges — on the basis of beauty, poise,
and scholastic ability — and, of course, the beautiful
Norma was included. But being (Continued on page 78)

MRS. DIONE LUCAS's special skill has made her
WCBS-TV show, To the Queen's Taste, one of the
most popular on television. Well, most everyone is
interested in good food, and Mrs. Lucas is an expert
on the subject. She is a graduate of L'Ecole du Cordon
Bleu in Paris — which has been issuing diplomas in
European cookery to graduates for centuries. She
and another English alumna opened a London replica
of L'Ecole 15 years ago. The venture was approved
by the Paris director, who gave them permission to
bestow the "Cordon Bleu" on graduates. Mrs. Lucas
opened her New York restaurant-school in 1942. To
date she has taught thousands of Americans to ap-
preciate European cooking. Her television cooking
lesson (Thursdays, 8: 15 P.M.) comes from her "Cor-
don Bleu" kitchen under the same conditions enjoyed
by pupils of her school.

DENNIS JAMES has

built up an enthusi-
astic following with
his Dumont sports-
casting. He injects so
much humor into his
television sports com-
mentary that many
fans consider it the
most important part of
the telecast. He snaps
a little gadget, when
wrestlers are in a particularly tight hold, that sounds
exactly like bones cracking. And he is the one who
discovered and spotlighted "Hatpin Mary" — that
energetic middle-aged woman who had a ringside
seat at every wrestling match, and if she "didn't con-
sider the action fast enough or if the wrestlers stayed
in a locked position too long, would scamper up to
the ropes and jab the top man with a long hatpin.

ADRIENNE: Eighteen
bachelors of Forest
Hills, Long Island,
have formed one of
the very first fan clubs
in television. It is in
honor of a tall, dark,
beautiful girl with a
thrilling voice. Her
name is Adrienne.
Just Adrienne. She is
seen and heard on Du-
mont's Champagne
and Orchids.

Each week Adrienne
has an attractive man-
about-town as a guest.

She use's a set that televises like a corner of a sump-
tuous apartment. She is always exquisitely gowned —
all this plus an outstanding voice makes her program
a joy.

Adrienne's mother is the famous Margaret Mat-
zenauer, one of the greatest mezzo-sopranos ever to
sing with the Metropolitan Opera. Her father, who
died several years ago, was Eduardo Ferrari-Fon-
tuna, a tenor with the Metropolitan. So, logically,
Adrienne was known as "The baby of the opera." Her
godfathers were Caruso and Pasquale Amato. As if
that weren't enough, she is a descendant of Johann
Sebastian Bach.

Adrienne has done stage and radio work, but her
greatest triumphs were in the top cafes in this country.
The most hardened critics dug deep into their sup-
plies of compliments to rave about her looks, voice,
and technique, when she appeared at the Hotel
Pierre, Rainbow Room, and the Drake in New York;
the Ritz Roof in Boston; and the Walton Roof in
Philadelphia, to name a few. That was perfect prep-
aration for television, and the training is evident in
the polish and charm she projects to the televiewer.
Adrienne's enthusiasm helps, too — she considers tele-
vision the perfect entertainment form.

TELEVISION

LANNY ROSS needs no
introduction to tele-
vision audiences. As
everyone knows, he
has been an outstand-
ing and popular sing-
er on the radio for
many years. Some of
his best known shows
were the Maxwell
House Showboat, the
Hit Parade, the Camel
Caravan. Not as well
known, but just as im-
pressive, are his activ-
ities in the late war.
Major Lanny Ross served 27 months overseas. Four
battle stars, the Legion of Merit, and the Philippines
Liberation ribbon are among his proudest possessions.
Now television audiences can see and hear him on the
Swift Show (NBT, Thurs. 8:30 P. M.).

BILL SLATER is cur-
rently the genial host
of Charade Quiz,
WABD, Thursdays at
8:30 P.M. One thing
video work has done
for him, says Bill, is
force him to turn
down fancy desserts.
Television cameras
add many pounds to
the person being tele-
vised, so it's a good
idea to stay slim as possible. While up to his ears in
television, Bill continues with his radio shows, Lunch-
eon at Sardi's and Twenty Questions.

WIN ELLIOTT'S first job— announcer on WMEX in
Boston — paid him fifteen dollars a week; today he
*is reputed to be the highest paid sportscaster in tele-
vision. A tall, fast-thinking young man of thirty-two,
Win spent his boyhood in Chelsea, just outside Bos-
ton. He started out studying medicine at the Univer-
sity of Michigan, but a post-graduate course in speech
and radio convinced him to give up scalpels and con-
centrate on diction. Fight years in broadcasting, with
jobs ranging from staff announcing and m.c.-ing to
disc-jockeying and sportscasting, turned Win into a
deft ad-libber with an amazing sense of tuning — an
essential factor in successful telecasting. Best known
for County Fair, Win is presently cutting a niche for
himself in television through his play-by-play-ac-

"T HAVE a simply sensational idea for television!"
I You are liable to hear that or words to that effect
proclaimed by otherwise fairly self-contained citi-
zens everywhere you turn these days. It's natural enough.
Here, at long last, is a completely new entertainment
industry — one that isn't all sewed up; one that might
shoot newcomers to the top, and do it a great deal faster
than the established and overcrowded fields of the
theater, motion pictures, and radio. That television is
currently drawing talent and executive personnel from
those overcrowded fields does not curb any one's
enthusiasm; as indeed it should not, for television must
and will develop its own stars, producers, and directors.
Let's follow your brain child into the vast NBC Tele-
vision workshop. The beginnings of your "sensational"
idea conform pretty much to this pattern: You've seen
television shows, you know you could produce or star in
something better, you get the germ of a show idea, you
work out the details of the format . . . and then you find
yourself, frenzied with enthusiasm, facing a wide, high,
solid brick wall. "Now what?" you ask. "Where do I
go, and whom do I see?" After much confusion, you
might realize that you've heard that NBC is just about
the biggest video operation — why not submit your baby
there? Your man there is Mr. Owen Davis, Jr. His title
— and this gives you heart — is Director of Program
Preparation and Procurement for NBC Television.

You write Mr. Davis a charming letter, attaching an
outline of your television show. Let's say you call it
"Here's How," and it is to be a demonstration, different
each week, of how to play a popular parlor game. You

have worked out gimmicks for checkers, chess, parchesi,

explain how you plan to ring in comedy, information,
drama, romance, and a guest star. You toss around a
few words like "sure-fire," "television-wise," and
"audience-builder." Then you wait nervously to be
summoned. The call never comes. After what seems
an interminable period, there arrives one morning a
very chilly document known as a "release." A quick
glance will reveal that once you affix your signature
thereto you have no further claims on the National
Broadcasting Company, or its affiliates, or the Radio
Corporation of America, or Owen Davis, Jr. — in fact it
might from that day forward be a good idea to get per-
mission to walk through Rockefeller Plaza. However
you sign and return the release, putting yourself com-
pletely in their gold-filled hands.

Upon receipt of your signed waiver, your format is
read for the first time by Mr. Davis and his staff. They
do not read anything before receiving a release since
they may already have a similar idea on hand. The
works are then sent' down to the NBC Legal Depart-
ment, where the day received, day read, and a brief
outline of the show are recorded. At this point one of
three things can happen: The whole business can be
returned to you with a polite note to the effect that your
idea is not deemed suitable for WNBT at this time, but
they are extremely grateful fer your interest — in short,
no dice. Secondly they might regretfully inform you
that they have on file five other programs of a similar
nature known respectively as (Continued on page 100)

PERRY MASON is a criminal lawyer, one of the most feared — and admired — men in his profession. Hard work
and hard fighting have helped him achieve his reputation, but he is able to build success upon success because tough-
ness is not his only asset. Behind a hard-boiled facade Perry conceals a shrewd understanding of people, an awareness
of their emotional patterns and of their relationships to each other that acts like a sixth sense when he is on a case.
DELLA STREET, Perry's secretary, is in love with him. It's an almost hopeless love that never quite dies, for. there
is always a smile, a touch, a warm word from Perry to feed her hope that some day he will look at her and see, not an
invaluable co-worker, but an attractive woman. Meanwhile, she works devotedly with him on behalf of MARY McKEEN,
whose husband David has disappeared in a plane over the Caribbean, leaving her unprotected against his predatory sister,
Elizabeth. (Perry Mason is played by John Larkin; Delia is Joan Alexander; Mary, on the left, is Mary Jane Higby)

BY way of the oil-scented bower of an Indian poten-
tate's favorite dancing girl, of a lion-infested farm
in the Himalayan mountains, and of a big-hearted
Iowa town — that's how our "Traveler of the Month"
came to us.

She's Grace Arnold, the eighteen-year-old daughter
of a British aristocrat and a dark- eyed Indian dancing
girl, and the true story that she told our coast-to-coast
party sounded like a potpourri of Rudyard Kipling,
Cecil B. DeMille and the Arabian Nights. It will be
many months of travelers before I forget this pretty
young lady. Also, I won't forget the family of modern
pioneers who had brought Grace from India to America,
and who were returning with her to the Himalayas.
They are Mr. and Mrs. Max Strong and their three
young children — a family that calls Atlantic, Iowa, its
American home, but spends most of its time on a mission
farm in India.

I'll get ahead of my story a little and tell you this:
Mr. and Mrs. Strong had brought Grace to America
because they feared she was going to be kidnapped in
India, kidnapped by a Mohammedan brother who re-
sented her conversion to Christianity and planned to
return her, by night, to the walled, veiled world of
Mohammedan women. Getting the idea that eighteen-
year-old Grace had quite a story?

Grace's father was William Canning Arnold, son of
Sir Edward Arnold, a British nobleman and man of
letters. The younger Arnold had made his way to India,
and finally to the province of Bhopal. There, in a way
that Grace couldn't explain, he met an Indian woman

of great beauty — the No. One dancing girl of the powerful
Nwab of Bhopal.

The romance of this impetuous young Britisher and
the fiery daughter of a world of harems was a brave
flame, burning despite the disapproval of both Indians
and Englishmen. Young Arnold married his dancing girl,
and they had two children, Grace and her older brother.
Grace led a happy life until her seventh year. But then
Arnold was knifed and murdered in a senseless brawl,
and for a time the English half of Grace Arnold also
was dead.

Her mother returned to her old benefactor, the Nwab
of Bhopal. As a dancing girl of beauty, as a prime favorite
who glided from behind a screen to entertain the Nwab
and his guests at important banquets, Grace's mother
rated much comfort. She and her children had their own
house and gardens near that of the Nwab, and there were
servants to attend all their needs, i This went on for a
year, until the spirited dancing girl/ fell ill with malaria,

id died despite all the care of the Nwab's physicians.

The Nwab felt kindly toward the two little orphans,
and Grace and her brother stayed on with him, protected
jy him and tutored to take their places in the Mohamme-
lan world.

In England, however, their father's family had other
plans. A prim, British spinster of an aunt — parasol and
all — decided that Grace was to return to Britain and
enter Mayfair society. The aunt made her way to India,
found Grace and tried to hide her disapproval of the
girl's mode of living while inviting her to return to
England. To Grace, however, this woman was an envoy
from an alien world, and she wanted to stay in her own
Mohammedan world. And the aunt, still clutching that
parasol, returned to England alone.

Some time later, Grace told me, she was converted to
Christianity. And with her conversion came a desire to
leave the Nwab and live among the people whom she now
called her own.

Just how Grace parted from the Nwab is not clear.
Anyway, one night Grace and her brother were taken
out of Bhopal and guided to a unique farm at Champawat.
United Provinces, India. And at that farm she met, for
the first time, the Strong family.

Let me tell you about that farm. It was founded by a
missionary group to take care of the children of British
fathers and Indian mothers, the children of broken homes
who could find no place for themselves in the rigid caste
life of India. Maxon Strong, who had been sent to India
by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions as an
Agricultural Engineer, ran the farm with his wife's help.
Their three children were born there, in a patch of clear
land encircled by jungles, by tigers and wild pigs and
leopards, by mysterious night sounds from the menacing
underbrush.

Here the British-Indian children worked, took Bible
lessons, got academic training and prepared to take useful
places in the world. Here the (Continued on page 99)

The secret of a cool summer for the family cook lies right in the salad howl. Not "rahhit food,"
hut real food can come out of it: romhine a hearty hase with frilly greens, and there you are!

/////■

Hi Mi

fir ■* »

IS there anyone who really likes to cook in hot
weather? I don't, so I plan my meals to come
out of the refrigerator. This only takes an hour
or two of work in the morning in the kitchen. It
is cool then and I get most of the day's cooking
out of the way.

A big hearty salad, hot rolls or biscuits and a
long cool drink often settle my supper problem.
The secret of this is to make that salad a hearty
one. I make it with a base of meat, cheese or fish
and plenty of fresh vegetables. Fruit salads are
my favorites for lunch. For the dressing I like just
plain sour cream. Lots of people think that sour
cream tastes sour. It doesn't really — it just has a
tang that goes perfectly with all kinds of fruit.
Gelatine salads, too, are good warm weather dishes.
I like them because they are so versatile; you can
make so many interesting and delicious dishes
from them. Here are my favorite summer recipes.
All of them keep the kitchen cool.

RADIO MIRROR FOOD COUNSELOR

Listen to Kate Smith Speaks
at 12 Noon each weekday, on
stations of the Mutual network.

Here is the story of the marriage of Rosemary — all the doubts, the heart-searching, the fears that

AFTERWARD, Rosemary couldn't recall that winter, that
brief and perfect season of her marriage, without
remembering also the "Liebestod" filling the living
room at home with the glorious, tragic love music of Tristan
and Isolde . . . without remembering Joyce Miller's radiant
face across a luncheon table.

Both Rosemary and her friend had their full share of
joy that day, and both for the same reason. Nothing could
touch them. The people at the tables around them, the
holiday shoppers hunching their shoulders against the
stinging wind outside, had no part in their private, blissful
world.

"Now," said Rosemary, "tell me about it — all your won-
derful news."

"It's this." Joyce hesitated, as if she were almost fearful
of putting so much happiness into words. "Will you be my
maid of honor?"

"So soon?" Rosemary gasped. "You're already making
plans — "

Joyce nodded. "I hope it's going to be next week. Dick's
final decree will come through any minute now, and then
we'll wait a few days, and then Dick wants us to get
married. Wants me," she finished in an awed voice, "to
become Mrs. Dick Phillips."

"But next week! Oh, Joycey, I'm afraid — "

"Don't say you can't!" Joyce interrupted swiftly. "You've
suffered with me through this whole thing, Rosemary, and
I just couldn't get married without you."

"But I may not be here next week," Rosemary protested.
"I may be in Chicago."

"Chicago! What for?"

"Because of Bill," Rosemary explained. "He's got to go
up there. There's someone who wants to see him, to find
out if he's a son or a brother missing in action. He made
the same kind of test here at the hospital the other day.
And of course he'd never seen the woman before, nor had
she ever seen him. I'm sure the same thing will happen in
Chicago. But there's always that chance — that slim chance
— that it may be somebody who is out of his past."

It hurt, talking about Bill's past, even to as good a friend

as Joyce Miller. It hurt to think that he'd had a young
lifetime which she knew nothing about, which Bill himself
knew nothing about. It would have been frightening, had
she let herself be afraid. But because she loved him, her
heart saw him whole, complete, even though her mind
knew that Bill's memory went hardly further than his
coming to Springdale and to the care of Dr. Jim Cotter —
hardly beyond his coming to the Dawson house, where Dr.
Jim had placed him.

"He's going to Chicago," Joyce repeated, "and you're
going with him?"

"I want to," Rosemary answered. "I think I should. But
Dr. Jim and Bill don't want me to go. They want to go
alone."

"Then let them," Joyce pleaded, "so you can be here
for my wedding."

Rosemary smiled at her, and yet wondered at the gap
that could exist even between friends as close as Joyce
and she. But then, she couldn't expect Joyce to understand
how she felt about the wall that divided Bill Roberts from
his past. Joyce's troubles with Dick had been entirely
different. Dick's life was an open book — perhaps too open.
President of the bank in Springdale, husband of Emily
Phillips. . . . No, Joyce hadn't had an easy time of it,
working side by side with Dick at the bank, loving him —
so hopelessly, it had seemed at first.

"Joycey," she said gently, "you know there's nothing I
wouldn't do for you. But I have to be near Bill. He went
through a test lasf night at our house . . ." She stared at
her plate, seeing instead the comfortable living room of the
Cape Cod bungalow on the Newtown Road, and her mother
and Dr. Jim, and Bill. Hearing the tremendous and painful
beauty of the "Liebestod" pouring out of the phonograph.

"We'd been window shopping that afternoon, Bill and I,"
she went on. "Day-dreaming about the things we'd have
when we were married. Then Bill said, 'We'll have a
wonderful record library. My favorite is Tristan and Isolde.
I love the 'Liebestod.' I love — ' And then he stopped, realiz-
ing that he was remembering something out of his past —
and he couldn't bring back any more of it. He remem-

bered a room and a fire and a radio playing softly, and
that was all. So — after we got home that night, I played
the 'Liebestod.' Dr. Jim was there, and he thought it was
a good idea, thought it would help Bill remember more.
It didn't — but it threw him into a terrible panic. He was
pale and shaking — "

Rosemary herself looked a little pale at the recollection.
Joyce spoke quickly.

"Then of course you have to go to Chicago with him,
Rosemary. I didn't realize it was so important — "

"It's terribly important," said Rosemary slowly. "The
least little thing might upset his balance, might even cause
the present to blot out. And oh, Joycey, sometimes in my
dreams I have nightmares when I think Bill doesn't know
me, doesn't remember who I am — "

"Maybe I can put off our wedding for a few days," said
Joyce. "You'll come back very soon, won't you?"

"Oh, yes." Rosemary nodded confidently. "The chances
are a million to one that it'll be no one related to Bill.

In that case, we'll take the very next train back to Spring-
dale. And I'll feel that we've put one more hurdle behind
us. You see, Joycey, it's the shock of his suddenly being
confronted with someone or something out of his past that
I'm afraid of. I can't help feeling that he'll be all right
if his memory returns gradually — as it is returning. Almost
every day some little fragment of something comes to him."

"And when he does remember everything and know who
he is — " Joyce smiled.

"When he does," Rosemary's laughter spilled over at the
very thought, "Mother and Dr. Jim and Bill himself can't
have any more objections to our getting married. We're
going to have the most wonderful life in the world."

"I know." Joyce's laugh echoed hers. "Oh, Rosemary,
it's such fun to have you feel the same way I do, to kno\v
you can't live without a man, just as I can't live without
Dick. Look at all those people on the street. Do you sup-
pose they all feel the way we do, are as happy and as
grateful as we are? I'm sure they're not. Because I had

Mother Dawson
(Marian Barney)

such a miserable life — I
never had love at all until
I met Dick."

"And it was just the op-
posite for me," said Rose-
mary softly. "I've had love
all my life — Mother, and
Patti, and Dr. Jim, who's
been almost like a father to
Patti and me. And yet, I
never came alive until I
met Bill."

"We've found what every-
body el§e is looking for,"
Joyce said. "We've been so

lucky. This isn't just the everyday thing. It's — "

"The sort of thing you read about in books but never

expect to feel yourself," Rosemary finished for her. "Oh,

Joycey — "

They smiled at each other. They couldn't stop smiling,

not with their cup of happiness brimming full. And yet,

there was more to come for Rosemary that very day.
Bill called for her in the late afternoon, when the office

was deserted and the street outside was quiet in the blue

winter twilight. Rosemary had been telephoning. She put

down the receiver as he came in.

* "That was Dr. Jim," she said. "He's coming over after

dinner to give me some more reasons as to why I shouldn't

go with you to Chicago."
Bill had put his hands on her shoulders, had been about

to kiss her. Now his hands remained where they were,

but his face set seriously.
"But, darling, we settled that. I told you I didn't want

you to go. As a favor to me, please wait here for me."
"Why, Bill?" She searched his face, knowing every line

of it, loving every line of it, even the lost and wistful

expression that was sometimes there, even when it was set

and forbidding as it was now. "Is there something special

about this trip that you haven't told me about? You said

yourself last night when that music upset you — You said

that having me there helped. You know you did."

"Rosemary — " For a moment he couldn't go on, not with

her troubled, candid eyes fixed upon his. He couldn't lie

to her; neither could he stand there and see her love

betrayed by telling her the truth. "Will you

trust me," he asked, "when I say I don't

want you — that I've my own reasons, and

I'm not going to tell them to you. no matter

how hard you beg nor how much you try

to get around them?"

"Then there is something!" Her hands

came up, curled hard around his wrists.

"There's something special about this trip

— why don't you tell me what it is? You

know that every little thing that happens

to you is so terribly important to me — "
"I'll tell you one thing," he said steadily,

"that I love you more than anything else

on this earth, more than any other man

ever loved a woman. And that I've counted

the minutes all day until I could get here

and see you and talk to you and kiss you — "
She melted against him, could no more

have held herself away than she could have

stopped breathing. For a little while they

were one; the fact of their love shut out

everything else, all her fears for him, his

own miserable inability to accept the love

she offered. Then Rosemary broke away, biting her lips

to still their shaking.
"You're not going to put me off that way," she said.

"I'm not going to be sidetracked by loving to have you

hold me and kiss me. Bill, tell me what it is, why you're

going—"

He made himself laugh, as if the secret were a small

one, made himself say lightly, "Come on, it's late. We're

going to dinner, we're going to pick up our pictures, we're

going to have fun — "

"Fun! When you won't tell me — "

"Come on. Get your coat — " Then he got it for her

and she let him put it on her because his arms came with

it for a moment. "Hat next. Gloves — no, never mind your

other glove. I'll put your hand in my pocket and keep it

warm. We've got to get some place before it closes."

"BLESS THIS RING"

"What place? Why? Bill—"

He maneuvered her, laughing and protesting, out of the
office, into the street. They passed a few doors, turned into
a still lighted shop.

"Why it's Smith's!" she exclaimed. "Whatever — ? Good
evening, Mr. Smith."

Pete Smith came forward, beaming at her over the cases
of watches and rings. He had a special place in his heart
for the Dawson girls, a very special place for their mother,
Susy.

"I want a ring for Rosemary," Bill said. "The very best
and most beautiful solitaire you have."

"Bill!" she gasped. "You mustn't! I won't let you — "

"Well, now — " The old man was flustered. "I'll be glad

to show you . . . only it isn't often anyone comes in and

asks for the best I have. Usually young folks are buying

on a budget."

"So are we," said Rosemary firmly. "For that matter, I
hadn't even thought of a ring—" .

"I have," said Bill. "And we're not on a budget, not
when it comes to Rosemary's ring."

"Well, now — " He slid back the showcase door, closed it
again, turned to the safe behind him. "I have here some-
thing very beautiful that was left with me to sell. Only
thing is, the price — "

Rosemary caught her breath at the flashing stone that
was set down on the square of black velvet before her.
Bill was watching her closely. "Like it?" he asked.

"Like it! It's simply gorgeous — but not for me! Why,
it must be two carats, at least!"

"I believe it is," Mr. Smith agreed. "And it has a happy
history. The lady who brought it in said she was very
happy wearing it, and that she hoped that whoever bought
it would be very happy, too."

Bill slipped it on her finger. "It's your ring," he said.
"It's perfect for you. I won't let you have any other."

Rosemary didn't believe it at first. She felt a little as if
Bill had shown her Buckingham Palace and had told her
that he was buying it for her to live in. When she did
believe it, she protested vehemently, and in vain. Bill and
Mr. Smith retired to the back room to settle the business
end of the sale; Rosemary was left alone with her ring.

It flashed at her through a dazzling mist. Her eyes were
wet; her throat ached unbearably. That Bill cared so much
for her, wanted so much for her . . . and
then the mist cleared. The ring meant
something — it was more than an engage-
ment ring. With it, Bill was trying to tell
her something, something he couldn't put
into words. He was asking her to believe in
him, to take on faith the answers to all her
questions, to understand that, no matter
what happened, their love was as change-
less as the imperishable stone.

"Bill," she asked as they left the shop,
"if for any reason you were going to stay
away from me for a length of time, you'd
tell me, wouldn't you?"

"I never want to stay away from you for
a single minute, Rosemary. You know
that."

He spoke soberly, and her heart quick-
ened at the words, at the tenderness in his
voice. But her question remained un-
answered. She persisted.

"I know that, but you're not answering
me, Bill. Can't you answer? Why?"

"Because I don't know, Rosemary," he
"I don't know what will be the result of

said patiently,
the trip—"

"But whatever it is, you'll come straight back here and
tell me about it, won't you?"

"Rosemary, how can I tell how I'll act, when I don't
know what restoring my memory will do to me? No-
body knows what's ahead of me — ahead of us. All I know
is that I have this moment — now — to be with you, to be
happy with you, to forget what may or what may not
come. Rosemary — " He stopped, looked down into her
face under the street light. Again she felt him trying to
reach her, felt the unspoken plea. "Help me, Rosemary,"
he said, "to be happy this moment. Darling, help me to get
all that I can out of right now — "

Her hand was cradled in his inside his overcoat pocket.
Her thumb moved, touched the ring as she would touch a

BLESS THIS RING"

talisman. The touch of it brought instant reassurance.

"Oh, yes, Bill," she said. "Of course I will. And I won't
beg you any more to take me with you. I won't say another
word about it. We'll just be happy now, enough for all the
rest of our time. You know that's what I want to do more
than anything else."

They called it their perfect night. The proofs of the
pictures they'd had taken the night before at the little
shop near the station so delighted them that they granted
the photographer his dearest wish, and allowed themselves
to be snapped in his property automobile, with Rosemary
dangling her hand over the side so that her ring would
show. They took running slides, like children, on an icy
patch of sidewalk, and arrived breathless and glowing
at their rendezvous, the Wishing Well.

Bill's hand sought hers across the table. "I love sitting
across the table from you," he said in a low voice. "I love
the shape of your face, and the shadow of your lashes on
your cheeks. I love your mouth — you have the most
irresistible mouth — "

"Don't," said Rosemary. She tried to pull her hand away,
but he held it fast. "Darling, if you don't stop saying things
like that, I'll get up right here in the middle of the res-
taurant and sit on your knee. Besides, it only makes the
waiting harder. Why do we have to wait at all, Bill?
When we're so sure of ourselves, of each other. . . ."

She could have added, "I'm still afraid; I'm terrified.
Not of loving you, no matter what your past has been.
I've never been afraid of that. No, it's being separated
from you that terrifies me — "

Bill said reasonably, "It shouldn't. Because we are sure
is the very reason it won't hurt us to wait until I've had
a little more time to find out who I really am."

He'd used exactly the right words. She felt calmer, at
peace. And when they left the Wishing Well and stepped
into a world of softly drifting white, she caught Bill's arm,
halting him. Together they stared up into the powdery sky.

"I love snow," said Rosemary. "It's so pure — so perfect.
On a night like this it's hard to believe that anything can
go wrong in the world, for anyone."

"I love your mind," he said. "It's like a child's — so clear
and fine and unspoiled." After a moment he added, "It's
too beautiful out for us to go home. Let's go coasting —
commandeer Patti's sled. My brother and I used to — "

He stopped. Rosemary held her breath,
waiting. "Yes, Bill. You and your brother
used to — " r

"He had a bob-sled," Bill said slowly.
"He used to teach me to steer. His name
was — was — "

"Go on," said Rosemary tensely. "His
name — "

Bill shook his head. "It's gone. But I
can see him steering that sled — my big
brother. Golly, Rosemary, this is the first
time that a person has come so clear to
me!"

Nothing better could happen, Rosemary
thought — not in that one night. Joyce's
future was settled; she herself had her
ring, concrete symbol of the bond between
Bill and her, and now this fragment had
come out of Bill's past, more promising
than any of the others.

Much later, after they'd reached home,
after Bill had gone to his room off the
kitchen, she couldn't sleep for thinking
about the enchanted hours behind her.

Patti was with her, curled up on the foot of her bed,
looking every inch the high school girl she was, in pajamas
and with a matching bow tied in her long, curly bob.
Patti was in raptures over the ring. Aside from its size
and beauty, it made Rosemary's marriage seem imminent,
and Patti did not side with her mother and Dr. Jim and
Bill himself in feeling that the marriage ought to be put off.

"Oh, Rosemary," she cried. "Isn't Bill just utterly
devastating? I mean, to think of getting a ring like that!
I'm really being awfully unselfish in giving him up to you."

"Yes, you are, baby," said Rosemary tenderly, "and don't
think I don't appreciate it."

Patti gave her a suspicious sidelong glance. "Oh, I know
you're laughing at me inwardly, but after all, I did fall
in love with him first. And I just didn't try to get him
when I saw he meant your whole life. I still think he's

- Isn't that the tele-

(Sidney Smith)

exactly the right type for
me. I mean, he just dis-
turbs me to the depths of
my soul. He's so utterly
romantic looking — sort of
wistful."

Rosemary laughed. "I
don't think he looked so
wistful tonight when he
was throwing snowballs '!<"

down my neck on Ander-
son's Hill."

Patti gazed at her round-
eyed, reproachful. "Rose-
mary, sometimes I think
you just don't appreciate the finer-
phone?"

Rosemary listened, and swung her feet to the floor.
How funny at this time of night — "

Bill and her mother had heard it, too, but Rosemary
reached the telephone first. It took a moment for her to
recognize the voice that came over the wire, so changed
was it from when she had last heard it.

"Rosemary — Rosemary — " It was Joyce. "Sorrothing
terrible has happened — "

Patti waited as long as she could bear to wait. She heard
her sister's shocked exclamation, but the rest of the one-
sided conversation told her nothing. "It's Joyce, isn't it?"
she whispered at Rosemary's elbow. "What does she say,
Rosemary? Mother, Bill, It's Joyce, and I think she's
crying — "

Rosemary put down the telephone and turned to face
them. "Emily Phillips was killed in an accident on the
Coast," she said. "Her car went over a cliff."

Patti was the first to break the shocked silence that fol-
lowed. "Well, what does Joyce care about that?" she
demanded. "Doesn't that make things simpler?"

"Patti!" Her mother's voice was heavy with warning.
"Who was killed?" Bill asked.

"Emily Phillips," Rosemary repeated. "Dick Phillips'
wife — Dick's the man Joyce was — is — going to marry. I've
got to go to her, Bill, and I think I'd better spend the night.
Joyce is in a terrible state. You see, Dick didn't even tell
Joyce about it as soon as it happened. He made all the
arrangements to go to the Coast, had a car
drive him to the junction, and didn't call
Joyce until he was at the junction waiting
. for a train. She feels — she can't help
feeling — that he's simply turned his back
on her , . . gone back to Emily."

Dr. Jim Cotter heard about it the next
morning he dropped in for an early cup of
coffee in the Dawson kitchen. He sipped
his coffee and listened with somber eyes
while Mrs. Dawson talked.

"You don't know any details, Susy, ex-
cept that Emily was alone in the car when
it happened?" he asked.

She shook her head. "No, Bill took
Rosemary over to Joyce last night, and
that's all he knew when he came back.
Whatever you're thinking, Jim, don't say
it, for Joycey's sake."

"All right, I won't — but I'll think it.
Susy. Knowing how Emily felt about
Dick, knowing that her life practically
ended when she parted from him-. . . .
Rosemary's still with Joyce?"
"Yes," she answered. "Why?"

"I was just thinking. I'm ready to leave for Chicago any
time Bill wants to go. This might be a good time, with
Rosemary absorbed in Joyce's troubles."

"Oh, Jim!" She stared at him across the table, her eyes
dark with indecision. "I don't know what to say. It's so
difficult for me to decide to part them."

"I know, Susy. But you can see for yourself they're
falling more in love every day — and he can't marry Rose-
mary until he knows who he is and what his obligations
are. He wouldn't want to, and he mustn't. I think I'll talk
to him right now."

"I'll call him. He's in the dining room, having breakfast
with Patti." She got up and went to the swinging door
that separated the rooms and paused there, her hand on
the glass panel, her head bowed. (Continued on page 351
